Bartlett, Paul January 26, 1977

Dear Jack: So good to hear from you--your letters are always incentives! I'm sorry to hear of Win Stracke's bad luck in Mexican finance...& his car accident...our financial problems in Mexico are serious...our home, in Comala, remains unsold. I'm sorry to report that Work in Progress is no longer being published...I queried them. I am glad December is carrying a memoir section...cheers & congratulations.. Irving Friedman came by & we had a good chat. He sings your qualities. Irving is aiding with social security--senior citizen--problems. Many thanks for the friendly contact. I have my Journal of Leonardo da Vinci in New York...
